โPara quien empieza como familia de acogida: no te voy a mentir, hay dรญas que parece que no das una. El trabajo de historia de vida es duro, el panel te pone nervioso y los adolescentes mienten y vapean. Pero tambiรฉn hay momentos buenos. Busca a alguien con quien hablar, como yo con Kerry. Y ten paciencia contigo misma.โ
โI think I was sure I'd never feel normal again. I was wrong. I stopped trying to be the perfect parent. Good enough is enough. Keep going, even slowly.โ
โI was where you are a year and a half ago. The worst part was foster caring for 8 years. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Praying for you.โ
โI'm not going to tell you eveything happens for a reason. It doesn't. But you can get through it. I did, and I'm not especially strong. I made a shared calendar for the family so I'm not the only one remembering.โ
